Dorell Wright donated 16 points, seven rebounds and six assists, while Reggie
Williams added 14 points for the Warriors, who snapped a two-game skid and
improved to 5-0 at home this season.

Charlie Villanueva led six Pistons in double figures with 18 points and eight
rebounds, Tayshaun Prince added 15 points, Austin Daye 14 and Richard Hamilton
13 for the Pistons, who saw their two-game winning streak come to an end.

The Warriors scored 65 points in the first half then managed just 36 the rest
of the way, shooting 21 percent in the fourth quarter, but holding on to stay
perfect at ORACLE Arena.

Detroit drew as close as 17 points in the third quarter at 85-68 on a Gordon
high-arching three, but finished the period in an 87-69 hole. A 9-2 stretch to
begin the four quarter trimmed what was once a 32-point deficit to 11 at 89-78
thanks to a Villanueva layup.

Trailing 98-86, Detroit scored the next eight to cut the deficit to four
points. Villanueva's three with 2:47 left trimmed the margin to six and
Ben Gordon's layup on the next possession made it even closer. The Pistons had
even more chances down the stretch, but rookie Greg Monroe missed a pair of
free throws with 1:39 to play and Villanueva misfired on a trey from the top
of the circle about 20 seconds later.

Finally, the Pistons capitalized. Tracy McGrady followed up his own miss in
the lane by corralling the rebound and scoring off the glass while being
fouled. He missed the free throw, but after a wild sequence and a jump ball,
Detroit got the basketball back after Ellis missed a runner off the glass as
the shot clock expired.

Gordon was stripped on the other end, and Ellis was fouled with 5.7 seconds to
play. Ellis made the first, but missed the second, leaving the door open for
the Pistons. The Warriors fouled Villanueva, who made the second of two
attempts. Rodney Carney was nearly tackled with 2.7 ticks to play and he
calmly sank both to put the game away.

"Well we're in the entertainment business, so we are going to make sure our
fans get their moneys worth, but it puts the coaches, ownership and the
general manager in the hospital," joked Warriors head coach Keith Smart. "When
you are playing with a big lead it's hard to maintain composure to keep things
solid."

The teams played close to the vest for most of the first quarter until Golden
State rattled off 14 straight points to close the period. Ellis scored half of
them, capped by two free throws with 34.7 ticks left, and Curry finished off
the quarter with a jumper that went through the net with 1.4 seconds
remaining.

The Warriors then rattled off the first eight points of the second period.
Curry made two free throws for a 42-21 game as Detroit went over 6 1/2 game
minutes without a point. McGrady's jumper for a 45-24 game was the Pistons'
first field goal in just over 7 1/2 minutes as well. Carney's alley-oop slam
opened a 54-29 margin, and the edge reached 32 points at 65-33 on Curry's
three with just over two minutes left. Detroit rallied with nine straight to
close the half at a more respectable margin, 65-42.

"Coming back from 32 is hard. It's tough, but it's part of the game," Gordon
said.
